To even think that making music on a laptop cannot be as beautiful or original as those songs is extremely ignorant. Music is music, and people write their music in different ways. All a computer allows an artist to do is be more creative and take their music to a level that cannot be reached by playing live. Almost all bands including famous ones like Kings of Leon have their tracks produced on a computer, they record solo'd tracks a few riffs at a time and produce them on a computer. It's the only way to truly reach digital perfection, and that doesn't make them any less talented.

your ignorance is embarrassing.

My Ignorance is awesome. All you little metros making fun of me for not being creative enough to enjoy a Buncha beeps, screeches and tones is the polar opposite of what I am doing.

Keep your little rants and music tastes to yourself cause nobody cares about this crap or how it is made.

No ones telling you to like this genre but to say its not music is a stupid statement as I've gone over with you last page. Like arguing with a child.

Yeah, +1, what the heck is wrong with people. It's 1:00 in this crappy song and I haven't heard nothing but garbage so far. Terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible.

Agree with No Heart (for the most part) and I am a music fan. House, Dubstep, Electro, etc just isn't hockey music. What got me pumped to play was Pantera, Disturbed (10 Thousand Fists in The Air would be sweet), System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine (imagine the intros).

Couldn't have said it any better brother.

Or a snowboard/skateboard joke?

I'm not going to argue because I'm just getting old and crusty and most definitely biased but there is definitely something to be said for people that make music with real instruments as compared to sitting at their computer using a computer program to synthesize and arrange patterned synthetic music.

I like music with words that convey ideas as compared to schreeches, whistles, and harmonics, that you can do speedy drugs to.

My personal opinion is that it is harder to spin synthetic harmonies than it is to create them. DJing can be an artform (it takes musical skill, just not to the same degree as a true musician) but IMO has no place in an arena.

I can pretty much agree on all of that. Concur on pretty much all the music you listed above. Definitely want something down and physical with a lot of energy. Laptop techno does not do that for me at all.

I'll admit to being an old fogey with a preference for rock; but I don't think the intro has to be rock.

What I do think it has to be is stirring. It has to be something that can catch the audience and get them into the mood of the upcoming game. It doesn't matter what kind of music it is, so long as it can do that. The problem is that not all kinds of music can do that successfully for all audiences.

I really enjoy Cape Breton fiddle music, but I would be rightfully laughed out of the building if I suggested it for the Canucks' intro. It's the same with a number of other forms of music, and no slight on any of them.

I don't know what the next intro should be, but I will know when I hear it, and I will know when I hear something that shouldn't be it, too.

If you're going with RATM ,Wake Up would be better. You can easily loop 0:40-0:52 to repeat as long as necessary.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUfaJ8RqfOg

“Since the beginning of recorded history, which is defined by the invention of writing by the Sumerians around 6,000 years ago, historians have cataloged over 3700 supernatural beings, of which 2870 can be considered deities.

So next time someone tells me they believe in God, I’ll say “Oh which one? Zeus? Hades? Jupiter? Mars? Odin? Thor? Krishna? Vishnu? Ra?…” If they say “Just God. I only believe in the one God,”

I’ll point out that they are nearly as atheistic as me.I don’t believe in 2,870 gods, and they don’t believe in 2,869.”
